Millions of Fishflies Swarm in the Sky

Fishfly season June 2016, Chesterfield Michigan. Millions of these insects swarm in the sky in a mating frenzy.

These smelly little bugs are called Mayflies or Fishflies. They ascend to the skies from Lake St. Clair to live for only one day, just enough time to mate and lay their eggs. They tend to cover anything and every thing in their paths with their squiggly little bodies.
